Description
When it comes to communication styles, Americans precede anything negative with three nice comments; French, Dutch, Israelis, and Germans get straight to the point; Latin Americans and Asians are steeped in hierarchy; Scandinavians think the best boss is just one of the crowd. It's no surprise that when they try and talk to each other, chaos breaks out.
In The Culture Map, INSEAD professor Erin Meyer is your guide through this subtle, sometimes treacherous terrain in which people from starkly different backgrounds are expected to work harmoniously together. She provides a field-tested model for decoding how cultural differences impact international business, and combines a smart analytical framework with practical, actionable advice.

Very insightful read
I really enjoyed the examples and how the whole book is structured. Not all ideas are new (I also studied intercultural studies) but still worth a read to explore the various levels and possible implications. I like that it has very practical suggestions of how to deal with different situations in business.
Sehr erhellend
Sehr viele und gut recherchierte Beispiele. Was mir wirklich gut gefallen hat sind die zahlreichen sehr persönlichen Erfahrungen anstelle von viel Theorie. Man kann es sofort anwenden, überlegen, warum manche Leute in verschiedenen Situationen anders reagieren als man das erwartet hätte. Mal ein Business Buch, das man wirklich verwenden kann
